Disclosed are stable recombinant multi-gene nucleic acid constructs, such as plant binary vectors, comprising(i) a gene encoding .gamma.-glutamylcysteine synthetase and (ii) a gene encoding glutathione synthetase, plus preferably at least one, preferably two, genes which encode enzymes involved in the redox cycling of glutathione between its reduced and its oxidised forms e.g. glutathione reductase and/or glutathione peroxidase. Preferably the promoters linked to the genes are different and of different strengths, and may optionally be inducible. Also provided are related materials and corresponding methods and uses e.g. in plants to improve oxidative stress tolerance, enhance root development, or to increase the post-harvest shelf life of the plant or part thereof.

La présente invention concerne des construits d'acide nucléique multigène de recombinaison stables, qui comprennent (i) un gène codant pour la .gamma.-glutamylcystéine synthétase et (ii) un gène codant pour la gluthione synthétase plus, de préférence, au moins un, et encore mieux deux gènes qui codent des enzymes impliquées dans le cycle rédox de la glutathione entre ses formes réduite et oxydée, par exemple la glutathione réductase et/ou la glutathione peroxydase. Les promoteurs liés aux gènes sont, de préférence, différents et de degrés différents, et ils peuvent éventuellement être inductibles. Cette invention concerne aussi des matériaux associés, des techniques et des utilisations correspondantes, par exemple dans des plantes afin d'améliorer la tolérance au stress oxydatif, renforcer le développement de la racine ou augmenter la durée de conservation après la récolte de la plante ou d'une partie de cette plante.
